A lamb might be one of the last creatures you may expect to see traipsing through Times Square in NYC, but this week, Sheep Sculptures by Kyu Seok Oh have flocked in the streets along with the people.
New York City's Armory Show has beckoned the bellwether, and these adorable fleecy animals appear in all of their white fluffy glory, made from an unusual material of heavy paper.
The major metropolis landmark has been turned into a sort of sculpture garden in light of the public art festival, bringing a bit of organic creativity to an otherwise stark urban jungle. These Sheep Sculptures by Kyu Seok Oh make a woolly, whimsical addition to the occasion. Check out the gallery to see how they stand up to pedestrian traffic compared to their home within the studio space.
